   I love reading, here's a few meatier books I've read recently:

   * Seeing Like a State - great overview of how states (and corporations) lose visibility into reality due to the abstraction levels they operate at

   * Normal Accidents - all about how things like nuclear reactors, ships and large systems naturally have accidents

   * Managing the Unexpected: Resilient Performance in an Age of Uncertainty - great easy read about how high reliability organizations manage complexity and dangerous, high tempo situations.

      Seeing like a state is my next book to read. Weirdly, I cannot recall the chain of interests that led me to it.

         P sure mine was Dawn of Everything + Why Nations Fail
